For an extra layer of flavor, grill the corn before removing the kernels. This will add a smoky char to the salad. If you don't have fresh corn on the cob, you can substitute with frozen corn. Just make sure to thaw it completely before using. Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as cucumber, zucchini, or avocado. Fresh herbs like basil or parsley would also be a delicious addition. The salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, it's best to add the dressing just before serving to prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy.
